Ruben Dias' Club Stand Firm on €50m Winger Valuation After Six-Hour Meeting

Ruben Dias' AC Milan stand firm on €50m winger Rafael Leao's valuation after a six-hour meeting with agent Jorge Mendes. The talks, which lasted from Wednesday afternoon to evening, failed to yield any movement on the asking price for the 25-year-old winger.

What happened?

According to reports in Italy, Mendes was at Casa Milan for a round of talks that lasted over six hours on Wednesday. However, the Milan camp remained resolute on their asking price for Leao, who is still valued at €50m. The Portuguese agent is reportedly working to find a buyer that meets Milan's demands.

Why it matters for Ruben Dias

Leao has been a key player for AC Milan, spending the last seven years in San Siro. He was part of the Rossoneri side that won the club's last Scudetto in 2021-22. Despite his desire to try a new adventure abroad, Leao's valuation remains a major hurdle in any potential transfer.

What comes next?

Galatasaray have reportedly come closest to matching Milan's asking price, offering just above the €40m mark. However, it remains to be seen whether the Turkish club will be able to meet Milan's demands. Mendes is reportedly working tirelessly to find a buyer that meets Milan's requirements.

Key Takeaways:

  • AC Milan remain resolute on their €50m valuation of Rafael Leao.
  • Agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly working to find a buyer that meets Milan's demands.
  • Galatasaray have come closest to matching Milan's asking price, offering just above the €40m mark.
